There arc dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is

Lumber Yards Burned.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 3.-At l
O'Clock this morning a large fire was rag
ing in the lower part OF the city, and
Armstrong 4 G. Ritz's extensive lum-
Der yards were burning. At 3 o'clock
twenty acres of lumber were in ruins.
The water supply was wholly insufficient,
and before the flames were subdued they
destroyed the lumber yard of the Arm
strong company, some 1000, 900 feet of
lumber, Armstrong $ saw mill, stables and
two dwellings, and the lumber yard of
John A. Keith & Son, burning some
5000, 900 feet of lumber, fifteen cars of
grain on the Peroia, Dakota & Evansville
railway and a large warehouse containing
tobacco, grain and general merchandise.
The total loss is estimated at $3.50, 900,
on which there is about 800, 900 insur-
ance. The fire is believed to be incen-

Murdered His Cell Mate.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 3.-Nicolo
Paneliedo, a Greek confined in the county
Jail in this city, this morning murdered
his cell mate, Geo. II. Marshall, who was
awaiting trial on a charge of grand larceny.
The weapon used was a pocket knife and
it is supposed the Greek first made an at
tack on Marshall while the latter was
sleeping. A struggle followed and Mar
shall was stabbed in a dozen places. The
guards were aroused but Panoliedo re-
fused them admittance to the cell and
held them at bay with a knife for two
hours. He was finally shot in the hip by
a deputy sheriff when he was overpowered
and the knife taken from him.

The advocates of running may sneer at
t~rotting matches, but it is only q question Of
taste ms to which is the more exciting, and it
Is evident upon the face of it that trotting
possesses some advantages, not the least of
which is the fact that a mile heat to sulky is
of longer duration than under the saddle;
and in certain sections of the country the
people will have none of the latter. Those
who nave witnessed some of the historically
speedy trotting matches understand their
feeling, too. Nothing can well be more
exciting than were the matches be-
tween Maud s. and st. Julien in the
days when it was still all uncertain as to
which of them would prove the more speedy.
Not less exciting, indeed, were the matches of
the little mare against time. The writer
witnessed two of them, and in each instance
she lowered her record.
Just before the start Oh one occasion
since grown famous the vast throng in the
stands and on the ground began to grow still.
When Baer wheeled up the stretch by the dis,
lance flags and started down to the wire
there was a murmur of approval at
the mares perfect time. "Nowl" was
the word given by 5000 voices TO the
holders of stop watches as the beauty passed
under the wire, and then all were breath
less as she vent down the turn. "Nowl"
was the chorus again as she passed the quar-
ter, and then all was still again as the beauti-
full animal footed it alone "up the back" to

THE TROTTING HORSE
EMPHATlCALLY A PURELY AMERl-
CAN PRODUCTION.

Scrub Matches and Speedy Heats on the
Circle-RemIniseenca, of One of the
s~peedIest Miles Made by Maud s., the
Queen.
The trotting horse is a typical American
production. Nowhere does it attain such
perfection as in the United States. In fact it
may hardly be said to exist at all anywhere
else. None of the great contests of horse
speed in England, France or Germany are
between ~trotters. In all those countries the
runner has the preference, and all the famous
pieces OF horseflesh there have won the
homage paid them under the saddle. But
in the United STATES Flora Temple, Dex-
ter, Maud s, and st. Julien, not to mention q
host of lesser lights, divide the honors with
the Bard, T~roubadour and the other mon
archs of the turf

Mrs. Langtry's Coming Season.

New YORK, Aug. Mrs. Langtry's
season will open at the Fifth Avenue
theater September Is, and she will remain
there six weeks. Her initial attraction
will in all probability be a new drama,
which is from the pen of Mr.. Coghlan,
with a strong part in it for Mrs. LangtrY.
This will be followed by her repertoire and
possibly The School for Scandal" All
idea of doing Antony and Cleopatra
has been abandoned for the present. She
will ultimately effect this Shakespearian
revival, and will do so in such a way that
the production will be a notable one.
After her six weeks %soiourn here the
English actress will make a regular tour
ofthe country. What she will do be-
tween now and the opening of the season
she has not fully determined. She has
thought Of taking a cottage at Long
Branch.

from Paris to Havre twenty-seven nurses
gave their care to lightweight pseudo
wounded.
The management Of this train has cost the
state $4,000 francs, and has reflected great
honor on the two engineers who furnished
the plans. The smallest bit Of space has been
utilized; each car contains eight beds ar
ranged in the fashion of the berths at sea.
On the left of each couch is a little board OF
shelf to hold the cup, glass and other immedi.
ate trihes for giving medicine or drink.
The furniture of the car consists of a brush,
a broom, q coal scuttle and slop pail. They
are ventilated by an ingenious system of
openings at the bottom of the car or wagon.
In the evening the cars are lighted by four
lanterns. The arms and clothing of the sol
diers are put in wire nets in the space DO.
tween the beds. A stove of the most manage.
able variety will heat the car in winter. A
linen bag at the head of each bed receives the
papers establishing the identity Of the sick
or wounded occupant of the bed. On each
bead is q hospital cloak, a shirt, a pair of
trousers and a pair of stockings.
The cuisine car contains n large stove with
boiler of hot water, two ovens, kitchen uten-
sils, tables, etc. The cooks are clothed in
white linen trousers and blue linen blouses.
A coffee mill is fastened to the wall, a cup
board contains the bottles and glasses, and a
tube running near conveys the water from
an outside reservoir, and n drain against the
wall OF the car carries away the waste.

ON THE

1t is undoubtedly the prevalence of light
wheeled vehicles in the United States that has
given trotting so great a hold on Americans.
1t would be quite impossible to do any great
road speeding in England, because the Eng
lish have no light wagons and sulkies to speak
of. And there is no question but the trotting
matches in America are an evolution of the
road speeding practiced by well to do farmers
and country gentlemen on their way to town,
the county fair, and sometimes, it must be
confessed, to church.
And, as many readers will testify, speed is
not always to the light wagoned horse. Some
times the butcher boy with his heavy
four wheeled cart will show the dust in right
royal style to the gloved driver OF the sleek
Thoroughbred harnessed to the spider skele-
ton or the natty road buggy.

A Piece of French Engineering Worthy
of Americans.

A Piece of French Engineering Worthy
of Americans.
La Tardes is a river which through a
valley to which it gives it name. It is crossed
by the railroad which the OrleaAs company
has established between Montlucon and Ely
gurande. A year ago a section Of it was
opened. The viuduct given in the engraving
is in that section. 1t presents to the traveller
a landscape nearly as rugged and wild as any
thing in the railroads Of Mexico or Colorado.
The viaduct is ninety-two meters above the
river, on two piles of masonry, the one fifty
nine meters, the other forty-eight, of eleva-
ton. The total length Of the tabler is 251
meters. 1t is a piece of extraordinary daring
III engineering, quite comparable to Ameri-
can achievements in that line, which are the
most daring in the world. France regards it
as n work which will give the greatest honor
to the engineers who conceived and directed
it, particularly as the difficulties overcome
were exceptional. This railroad, at one point
between Letrade and Giat, attains an altitude
Of 760 meters, and descends rapidly to 700
meters. 1t constitutes a direct route between
Paris and Eygurande, and will be the short
est and most economical way between Paris
and Mont Dore and Barboule.

war and the railroad companies are now en-
gagged in considering the question of sanitary
trains. Already on one line a regular sani-
tary train has been put. 1t carries physi-
clans, pharmacists, officers of administration,
engineers of the railroad company, members
of the society for aid to the wounded, which
is composed of women, nurses, etc.
The train is composed of twenty-three car
riages, disposed in this order: A van for
fuel, one for linen, one for medicine and Off
GERS of administration; seven am%bulances; a
car for the nurses, one for the cuisine,
one for the pharmacists and surgeons,
and one for the provisions. All the
cars, from one end of the train to the other,
communicate by a central corridor, which
permits the doctors and surgeons and others
to have ready access TO whatever department
requires their services. During the transit
